DMCA is evil, but there were such 'anti-pirate' acts in the past and 
they've been abolished sooner or later, when it came to the 
legislators what they've done. And, the boycott strategies are the 
best way to beat down the pro-DMCA companies, who like to ask 
'authorities' (autocrats would be a better word) to enforce them. It 
doesn't mean, of course, that they shouldn't be combatted, but I 
don't even put a damn to DMCA; the sw pats are far more evil, 
because in the case of DMCA it's enough when you leave alone the 
products of those companies that are EVIL and anti-freedom; in the 
case of the sw pats, THEY trample on your rights to make your 
own software. That's exactly the censorship. 

Btw, is EUCD any way enforceable? Hartmut said, that it's very 
unclear, so it leaves much uncertainties at any case of criminal 
trial; and, in every 'civilized' country, each of those uncertainties 
must count as the argument for the defendant, not for the 
prosecutor. So, maybe the real enforcement of this "law" is 
impossible?? Even though it's written in the legal codes of EU 
countries ?? What do you think of it ??
